Site Upgrade Tomorrow - Some downtime expected

**Elleth Faewen** · October 14th, 2006, 01:20 PM

I will be upgrading the web site on Sunday, October 15th. The site itself will be unavailable for part of the time during the upgrade. BTZ live chat will still be available. Please note this URL so you can get to the chat while the main site is unavailable:
http://client0.sigmachat.com/sc.pl?id=95675

Note that this is a major upgrade and it will take me a bit of time to get everything working again, such as the Journals and the local time in posts. I also plan on doing some forum re-organization to make it easier to navigate through BTZ.

Thank you for your patience while the system is upgraded!

Once the upgrade is complete, you will find many new features to make your experience at BTZ better. Here are just a few of the new features:

Multi-quote
You will be able to tag multiple posts, then when you reply it will quote all the tagged posts in your reply.

Mark Forums Read
This will be available now just by clicking on the forum icon rather than having to go into the forum tools menu.

Private Message Preview in e-mail
If you have subscribed to receive e-mail when you get a private message, it will include the text of the PM in the e-mail.

Resize Oversize Image Attachments
If your attachment is too big, the system will automatically resize it for you.

Buddy/Ignore List enhancements
The editor for Buddy/Ignore lists has been improved. You can also set your PM box to only receive member messages from those on your buddy list. Note that admins and mods will always be able to send you PMs.

The upgrade is complete and the forums are back online. I am still working on getting all features back such as journals. Hopefully everything will be back up in the next couple of hours.

If you notice something is giving you trouble, please reply here or start a new post in technical.

Thank you!

Thanks, Elleth! I love the new image thing beside the Posting Quick Reply place lol.

Chat is back up and running. The menus should work through-out the site now. Journals are still down. DH wants to eat, so I need to go make supper. Let me know if you find any problems.

When you are not logged in and click on Baby forums the welcome text appears twice. Thought you might like to know and fix it :)
